Hominy gives this soup an unmistakable chewy texture and subtle corny flavor that pairs perfectly with Southwestern seasonings. The brothy base is enhanced with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic to set the stage for hominy, pinto beans, and bell pepper, which give this dish hunger-busting substance. A dollop of homemade Tofu Sour Cream adds a delicious tangy element to each serving, while creamy avocado and fresh cilantro round out the Mexican-inspired flavor profile. If you like it spicy, feel free to add a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce before slurping down this irresistible hominy soup!
Tip: If you can’t find the yellow hominy, then white hominy works just as well.

Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 15-oz. cans no-salt-added pinto beans, rinsed and drained (3 cups)
- 2 15-oz. cans golden and/or white hominy, rinsed and drained (3 cups)
- 1 cup chopped orange bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon mild or hot chili powder
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
- ½ cup Tofu Sour Cream
- 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and chopped
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Set a 6-quart electric multicooker to sauté setting. Add onion and garlic. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add remaining broth and the next seven ingredients (through black pepper).
- Lock lid in place; set pressure valve to sealing. Set cooker on high pressure to cook 2 minutes. Let stand to release pressure naturally (about 15 minutes). Carefully release any remaining pressure. Open lid carefully. Stir in cilantro.
- Top servings with Tofu Sour Cream, avocado, and red onion. Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Hi Joe, As this recipe uses canned beans and hominy, which are already cooked, you could make it on the stove top without too much fuss at all. Use a large pot and sauté the ingredients as per step 1. Then add the ingredients listed in step 2 (up to black pepper). Simmer for about 10 to 20 minutes until it looks and tastes cooked. Stir in fresh cilantro and serve as per step 3. If you decide to try it, let us know how it goes!
Surprisingly delicious and filling. The broth is nicely seasoned. If you like it spicier, go for it.
I love hominy so I am thrilled to see this recipe! I am also unable to print/save it. Like Bob, it opens to a blank page. 🫤 Looking for help so I can keep this yummy looking recipe.
I'd like to try this, but I don't have that kind of cooker. I just have a regular stove. What are the instructions for making this soup with my stove?
Trying to print, but all that come up is a blank page.
I am not able to print myself. It says there's an error.
I couldn’t print it either so I took a couple of screenshots… Not ideal but at least I’ve got it until they fix it…
Hi Bob, Thank you for letting us know. We've reported the issue to our tech team and hope to have it resolved soon.
